Russia has slammed retaliatory personal sanctions against 28 Canadians supporting Ukraine, following what it dubbed “unlawful anti-Russian restrictions” previously imposed by Ottawa.
The Foreign Ministry, in a statement on Monday, said the entry ban affects the individuals whose activities promote “the criminal neo-Nazi ideology currently espoused by the Kiev regime.”

Moscow noted that the trend has been further confirmed by Monday’s appointment of former Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland.
